PrintForm 2.1.0.0

1. Core printing engine completely rewritten. UseLegacyPrinting concept is now obsolete, printing of each control Type is assigned to a specific IPrintMethodAdapter implementation. New implementations can be registered with PrintForm to extend its capabilities, and existing implementations can be instructed to print additional Types (e.g. of 3rd party controls). See 'HowTo: Assign a PrintMethodAdapter to a Control in PrintForm.NET'.
2. Updated to work with Microsoft Visual Studio 2005. Current build is against version 1.0 of the runtime so will work in 1.0, 1.1 or 2.0.
